YG<\/strong> is starting off 2020 with an apology.<\/p>\n

The rapper took to Twitter on Wednesday to apologize to the LGBTQ community, saying that he has evolved through his past “ignorant” views.<\/p>\n

“It’s been brought to my attention that my old views on life was ignorant,” the 29-year-old said. “I apologize to the LGBTQ kommunity for ever komin across like i was anything but respectful and accepting. Live. Love. Ya Life. Gang!”<\/p>\n

It’s not clear why the rapper was compelled to issue an apology. However, some Twitter users feel it’s due to the fact that his ex-girlfriend<\/a>, 24-year-old singer Kehlani<\/strong>, is openly bisexual.<\/p>\n

One Twitter user responded to the rapper’s tweet saying<\/a>, “He only saying that to appease to kehlani.” Chimed in another<\/a>, “Kehlani done changed mans.”<\/p>\n

The two stars were first connected back in September 2019, six months after the singer gave birth to her first child<\/a> (whose father<\/a> is the star’s guitarist, Javie Young-White<\/strong>). Kehlani and YG confirmed their relationship<\/a> at Kith’s New York Fashion Week show.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Things took a turn, however, when a video of YG surfaced<\/a> in October that showed him kissing another woman in a car. The video was originally shared by The Shade Room<\/em>. In a statement to the outlet, YG’s team said it was a drunken moment that he regretted. The pair stayed together.<\/p>\n

Kehlani later addressed the cheating scandal<\/a> in November by releasing a track called “You Know Wassup” on SoundCloud. In the lyrics, she talked about being “embarrassed” by the scandal but still wanting to make things work.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In December, however, the two appeared to be broken up<\/a>. In a since deleted tweet, the singer hinted she was no longer with YG.<\/p>\n

The tweet also shot down rumors that she had moved on from YG and was dating Canadian rapper Tory Lanez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Because i keep seeing this. i’m addressing it. absolutely not. we made a song for my album,” she explained. “I am single. and focused.”<\/p>\n

Whatever the status of his relationship with Kehlani, it looks like YG wants to turn over a new leaf in the new decade.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
